Brussel Sprouts with Bacon

Ok, this recipe comes to you a lot later than I originally wanted. Sorry about that. Been super busy and headed to Atlanta this past weekend to spend some much needed time with my mom. That also meant not much time spent in the kitchen so recipe posting may be a little light this week until I can get back into my kitchen and start cooking again. You should see my refrigerator right now! It’s the barest I’ve seen in a long time. It also tells you the hubby and the kids did a lot of eating out when I was out of town.

Let’s talk brussel sprouts. Normally I’m not a fan of brussel sprouts. Actually when I was home this past weekend and told my mom I made brussel sprouts she almost stopped to feel my forehead to make sure I wasn’t sick. She even asked if I was her child….funny! And why I picked them up to make is still beyond me but I did and I can tell you they might be a new favorite of mine. Of course, adding bacon may have contributed to this new liking too! These are a great side dish even a great side for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Really easy to make too, which as you know is always a plus in my department.

Brussel Sprouts with Bacon

3 slices of thick cut bacon

1 pound brussel sprouts, trimmed and cleaned, then cut in half
